  1. This is quite the D this inning
  2. Judge sucks, but that’s an incredible level of obnoxiousness by Flaherty:
  3. This was from back at the beginning of the season. Will these be more like a regular home game or an NCAA tournament venue? Definitely the former. CFP executive director Richard Clark said visiting teams will only receive around 3,500 tickets. “We want it to feel like a home game,” he said. “You (the higher seed) earned that opportunity.” Given the quick turnaround between Selection Sunday and the first games, the CFP has already booked hotel blocks for the visiting team near FBS schools with a realistic shot of hosting and will release rooms as teams fall out of contention.
  4. That and tires… which also have wear marks ….
  5. Yes.
  6. Welcome to November in the SEC
  7. You’re no fan of throwing this on the side of the helmet on an all black longhorn alternate!
  8. Ok, this is how you do a Halloween weekend jersey… and the reveal/hype video
  9. Visa would never do this they out doing ‘Murica shit like squashing any and all potential competitors https://www.justice.gov/opa/video/justice-department-sues-visa-monopolizing-debit-markets
  10. Forces me every year to turn on radio announcers. sterling and Susan are harder to handle though, so it’s the dodgers crew
  11. I really hated that 2 relievers were sent to the plate after Greinke’s PH single in game 5 of the 2021 World Series, the last game to have a pitcher take an AB in a World Series game. Greinke should have been the last
  12. Holy shit. Japan, with about a third of the population of the US, has more people watching the World Series than the US does. 15.2M to 14.5M (siap)
  13. Props to Pat Sajak staying to the very end right behind home plate though
  14. What? We wouldn’t play the week after the ccg. We’d play 13/14 days after a loss. Or 24/25 days after a win miss the ccg and you have 20/21 days between games. Other than bragging rights for winning the conference our first year, I’d be completely fine with missing the ccg. (especially if the only reason we weren’t there was because we lost the 4th or 5th tiebreaker after beating A&M.) It’s a superfluous money grab in the day of a 12 team playoff with way more downside risk than upside potential for a team like Texas this year. give me the 20 day break going from A&M to a home playoff game against an army-like 11 or 12 seed Make the ccg game and win, you’re getting beat up one way or another by UGA probably. The odds of getting through that game without at least one significant starter being unavailable for the CFP is virtually zero. Good news is you have 25 days to recover. Bad news is you have 25 days off and have to come out sharp against a better playoff team (8/9 or 7/10 seed). I don’t like that idea with how shitty we’ve been in the first half most of this year. Make the ccg game and lose. You get an off week before hosting a playoff game. Pro: you get to host a CFP game. con: see above re: injury odds and likely missing a key starter or two. con: If you do manage to get through the ccg without significant injury, you get to play another game and try to get through injury-free. Pro: we’re not governed by sec rules and maybe we can get a gd beer vendor or two walking the aisles. give me a victory over A&M, losing a tiebreaker to make the ccg, 3 weeks off to get fully healthy, a 6 seed and home game in the playoff against a clearly inferior 11 seed allowing us to find our rhythm and then a quarterfinal matchup against Big12/ACC champ
  15. No. the tiebreaker in your scenario falls to #4: opponents winning percentage. You can only use H2H in this situation (4 team tie) if: -they all played each other (true round robin) OR -one team beat the other 3. they’d move on by having scoreboard over everyone and you’d start over on the tiebreaker with the remaining 3 for the 2nd spot OR -one team lost to the other 3. they’d be removed and you’d start over on the tiebreaker with the remaining 3. which (taking off aggy hate glasses) makes sense. Why should UGA—1-0 against the tied teams—get to advance over A&M—1-1 against the tied teams—just because A&M had to face two of the T-1 teams in the league instead of 1?
  16. Remember that time the Yankees won their LDS series and their fans starting chanting “WE WANT HOUSTON” and we swept that ass in the LCS?!
  17. I think Duke finally ends that charade next week. and will voters drop loser of OSU/PSU behind us when we’re on a bye? (I think PSU gets rolled so it will be an easy ‘yes’)
  18. Down to 6 in AP https://apnews.com/hub/ap-top-25-college-football-poll
  19. Other than bragging rights for winning the conference our first year, I’d be completely fine with missing that game . especially if we lost a tiebreaker after beating A&M. Nov 30 and Dec 20 Or Dec 6 and Dec 31 I think I like the 20 day break going from A&M to army-like team Instead of 25 day break getting beat up by UGA (win or lose) and having 25 days off but having to come out sharp against much better playoff team. Especially with how shitty we’ve been in the first half most of this year.
  20. Idk where to put this and fully expect it to work itself out, but let’s say there is a 4 way tie between UGA, Texas, A&M and LSU all with 1 SEC loss. Who plays in the SEC Championship? UGA 1 loss to Bama Texas 1 loss to UGA A&M 1 loss to Texas LSU 1 loss to A&M https://storage.googleapis.com/secsports-prod/upload/2024/08/26/cf507314-3ae5-4a15-a0ce-ce8039e51f6e.pdf If I read this shit right, I believe it goes to the 4th tiebreaker: “Cumulative Conference winning percentage of all Conference opponents among the tied teams”. Impossible to know how that plays out until you have the final full season standings, but hard to imagine that breaking in our favor with UF, ou, UK and Miss St on the schedule). Although all it takes is for one team to break clear on that tiebreaker and then you start back over with the first tiebreaker with the 3 teams that are left) But either way, WTF does the 5th tiebreaker mean: “capped relative scoring margin per SportsSource Analytics versus all Conference opponents among the tied teams”
  21. SMU first team in 20 years to win a game -6 in the turnover battle
  22. Pitt at SMU the first weekend in November to stay undefeated in the ACC and keep pace in first place Just like we all expected
  23. Rhett Lashlee is the perfect AI generated name for an smu head coach
